You'll reach the city by bus, and there you'll start the walking tour visiting Quattro Canti, the Martorana church, Piazza Bellini, Piazza Pretoria, the Cathedral and the whole historical center, including the typical local market Capo. Alternatively, you can choose an individual and optional visit to Monreale, famous for its mosaics.

After lunch, you'll depart for Cefalù on the north coast. There, you will visit the historical center and the Norman Cathedral with the famous mosaic of Christ Pantocrator.

    Die Möglichkeit in Giardini Naxos abgeholt zu werden war schön. Weniger gut hat uns gefallen, dass die Reiseführerin genervt war. Wir fanden es auch nicht schön, dass einige Teilnehmer uninteressiert schienen, aber das sollte sie sich nicht so stark anmerken lassen. Wir sind durch die Städte leider sehr gerast, so dass man gerade mal ein Foto machen konnte. Angucken war kaum möglich. Mittag im absoluten Touri-Restaurant haben wir abgelehnt. Es wäre schön, wenn man in Palermo mehr Freizeit hätte.

    Dadurch, dass ein Guide für drei Sprachgruppen zuständig war, fehlte die Zeit für Nachfragen...Palermo war insgesamt gepresst und gehetzt. Außerdem fehlte dann auch jegliche freie Zeit in Palermo. Stattdessen hatten wir davon viel in Cefalu..zu viel. Es fehlte absolut die freie Zeit in Palermo!! Der Guide war etwas genervt, weil es stressig und anstrengend war die drei Sprachgeuppen zusammen zu halten und alles drei mal abgespielt werden musst....das merkte man ihr voll am...Augen auf bei der
